Those retrieval costs, though...
Anyone know the retrieval cost for Ice Cold? I don't see it mentioned in the post.
If it's the same as their other storage, which isn't really clear... About $50 /TB

On B2 that's $10... yeah, might be reconsidering this...
I expect that Google will also charge for retrieval. Their egress is really really expensive.
There may also be a minimum storage period, like Amazon has.
Let's wait and see.
It looks like a lower tier than the existing Coldline and Nearline (7x cheaper for storage than the former). Both have a minimum period, so this one is likely to have one as well. Coldline and Nearline are more expensive than regular storage when fetching objects, which means ice cold storage is probably even more expensive when you restore (is it going to be 7x, too, keeping symmetry?).
